Proteome analysis of photoautotrophic and heterotrophic cells in a red alga Galdieria partita

Galdieria partita is a unicellular red alga which switches between photoautotrophic and heterotrophic growth depending on the presence or absence of sugar. In order to elucidate the characteristics of protein expression in G. partita cells under photoautotrophic and heterotrophic conditions, proteome analysis of cells under the two conditions was performed.
